  • ¹Since s&box uses OpenGL Normals (+Y), when downloading textures from sites such as AmbientCG or PolyHaven for example, check to see if they have an OpenGL (GL) normal provided. If not you can invert a DirectX Normal (-Y) to OpenGL Normal (+Y) by toggling "Inverted Normals (-Y)" in the material editor InvertingNormal.

  • ²Before exporting a material from Material Maker you will need to convert the normal in the graph from the Material Maker’s internal format to OpenGL Normal convert node documentation

  • ²To export from Material Maker, do 'File' > 'Export Material' > 'Blender' . From there you'll have .exr files whitch are your exported textures.
